Reaction Steps

To a mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) (90 mg, 2.37 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) (2 mL) was added a solution of 2-amino-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-methylpyridine (100 mg, 0.602 mmol) in THF (1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at reflux temperature. Excess LAH was decomposed by successive addition of water (90 uL), 15% sodium hydroxide (90 uL), and water (270 uL). Solids were removed by filtration through a pad of Celite. The title compound was obtained as a white crystalline solid after chromatography on silica gel (5-15% methanol/methylene chloride).
